Lyrics

The day I came
It rained champagne
The days, the change
You're not so strange
I am and I can
Even though some nights I'm just another drunken man
Got to go, can't really stay
Watch me take a chance and dance, I wanna go all the way
Taking my time with my women and my wine
I haven't got a home but I don't need a shrine
Sometimes our lives take a week or two
Breaking my pain over someone like you
'Cause you'll say something simple that touches me inside
That shows I've been gone but I'll be back in a while
'Cause I feel and I see
And you're losing your style
And you simply can't see
Why I'd rather be me
Talk of deals, not what you feel
It's not what you want, it's not even real
No pain, now there's no gain
I hope you realize that you can't afford to stay the same
You're alright, has no real bite
'Cause you've gotten what you want, now there's no real need to fight
Please don't stay in vain
'Cause I could be right there if only you could feel the same
Sat on the floor of your safe little life
Two dogs and a cat and a safe little wife
Sometimes with wine, just a time or two
You'll look at me and I'll look at you
'Cause you'll say something simple that touches me inside
That shows you're not gone, you're just lost for a while
Maybe trapped in a web of your chosen lifestyle
And you simply can't see
Why I'd rather be me
